5 WCW Superstars Who Made It In The WWE

2. Eddie Guerrero R.I.P

eddie-guerrero Eddie Guerrero was one of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time. Eddie started out wrestling in Mexico, with his family already well-known in wrestling. Eddie represented the best of the next generation - which included including former WWE and now TNA star Chavo Guerrero - and began wrestling in WCW with Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, Rey Mysterio and many more during the company's successful period, together they were performing such great fights that they were arguably the best in terms of technical wrestling all around the world. In other achievements, Guerrero formed the Latino World Order in WCW and they were a successful group, he also achieved Cruiserweight Championship and United States title glory. Guerrero left the WCW after asking for a release from his contract in 2000, and he would join the WWE later that year with fellow WCW talent Perry Saturn, Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko to form a group called The Radicalz. However during his time with the group Guerrero was injured and they never really took off, a wasted potential in my view. Guerrero then became Latino Heat which was a very lovable character despite being a heel, with Guerrero's attempts to woo Chyna with flowers and often ending in disaster for Latino Heeeaat. Eddie was released from the WWE for drink driving for a short period however he returned in 2002 better than ever, he formed a successful partnership with his cousin Chavo Guerrero calling themselves Los Guerreros, which catapulted Eddie into the top ranks of WWE as his character was very popular with fans. He also had very memorable feuds with Rey Mysterio and Chris Benoit along the way before winning the WWE title from Brock Lesnar at No Way Out in 2004 and successfully retaining his belt at that years Wrestlemania. Eddie would go on to have another great match at Wrestlemania 21 with his long time friend Rey Mysterio before passing away in 2005 from heart failure.
